He became an overnight stand-up sensation after rocketing to the finals of TV show Britain’s Got Talent.

Now Jack Carroll has been confirmed as a special guest at Big Mouth Comedy Club’s sixth birthday gig at Middlesbrough Town Hall Crypt on Saturday September 6.

Jack’s first audition on the ITV show saw him described as a ‘comedy genius’ by Little Britain star David Walliams, and has already bagged over 10 million views on YouTube so far.

He went on to finish second in last year’s final at just 14 years old, and he’s since worked with the likes of Jason Manford and Vic Reeves, and on CBBC shows including The Dog Ate My Homework and 4 O’Clock Club.

Jack, whose cerebral palsy is often the subject of his act, has also opened for TV big-hitter Jason Manford at a number of his gigs, and has firmly cemented his place as one of comedy’s fastest rising stars.

He now joins a typically strong Big Mouth line-up of huge Teesside favourite Jason Cook, Rob Rouse from 8 Out of 10 Cats and Celebrity Juice, and top Canadian Pete Johansson from Russell Howard’s Good News.

Carmel Ramsay of Big Mouth Comedy said: “Jack’s going to be a huge star, so it’s great to have him along as special guest for our birthday gig in

September. He shone out a mile on BGT, and we can’t wait to see him in Big Mouth has become a hugely popular Saturday night fixture with Teesside comedy fans, with a winning mix of familiar TV faces and some of the best comics on the UK circuit drawing enthusiastic crowds to the Town Hall Crypt on the first Saturday of every month.

Carmel said: “I can’t believe it’s six years since we launched Big Mouth. What an adventure it’s been. Almost a hundred gigs, hundreds of amazing comics, and – we always say it – just the very best audiences you’ll find anywhere.”
